hey guys,

i had to take out my battery yesterday to put in my super cool hyper white clearance light, when i was putting it back in the terminals were sparking quite a bit, is this normal? i cleaned them a little with a rag


to make things worse, last night my factory security alarm was engaged and i couldn't start the car (the light was lit up next to the clock)

i disconnected the battery again to reset it and i got it started

the security light was flashing dimmly all the way home though, any ideas about this?

i have an aftermarket alarm too, but it turned off when i told it to

You have a factory AND an after market alarm? WTF? Why not get rid of the factory one and just have the better aftermarket?

You might want to check relays/fuses, all that good stuff.

If you disconnected the POS + side of the battery, it will spark when you put it back on. Thats why I take off the negative side. I believe there is a inline fuse attached really close to the positive side of the battery, check that.

 

they usually don't disco the factory alarm when you put on an aftermarket

i've had two installed in both of my cars, never had this problem

ill check the other stuff tanks
